Chalet Appolo in Lech, Austria

If your style is quiet sophistication, but you like to let your hair down once in a while, this luxury ski chalet in Lech might be your perfect match.

Ideal for groups of up to 10, and particularly for several families sharing who may want to enjoy their own space occasionally, The chalet is a three-storey building that can also be rented as three separate apartment suits, so it offers five bedrooms and three separate living and dining spaces, as well as well-equipped ski rooms and some super-cool spaces for fun and parties. Room for everyone both to gather together and find a little space apart.

The property has been thoughtfully designed in rustic woods and stone and a neutral, dark palette for a boutique hotel feel. The largest of the living spaces has a statement stone fireplace, vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that slide right back to give access to the property’s balconies. It’s a wonderful space for you all to get together in the evenings for a few drinks, and there are still two more smaller living spaces where the kids can escape to watch a film together or you can disappear to with a book or a snooze.

There are two ski rooms, so there’s never any waiting around to get your ski gear on in the morning, and everything will always be dry and ready and waiting for you when you want to get back out on the snow.

For quiet afternoons following a morning on the slopes, the spa facilities are second to none, with sauna, steam room, yoga and fitness studio as well as a spacious relaxation area where you can just sit and ‘be’ following your treatments.

But the jewel in this property’s crown must be its games and party room. In here is a private bar, darts board, football table and pinball machines. There’s also a multimedia room and a private cinema all at your disposal. So whether you want to throw a private screening for your friends, enjoy a laid-back gathering or throw the party to end all parties, it’s all here for you.

At the end of the day, you’ll retire to wonderful bedrooms that are all unique in their own way. Each has something that makes it special – it might be a freestanding bathtub, a piece of vintage furniture or a cosy private living space, and each has a luxury bathroom and its own terrace entrance so you can bid the mountains goodnight with a nightcap or greet the sun with a cup of steaming coffee first thing in the morning.

Let the mountain adventures begin!
